Wonton soup is amazing! Full of flavor! The orange chicken is round and amazing. They have games and foosball table with sports playing on the TV. It's my new favorite place not to mention has my favorite tapioca teas. Presentation is a big plus! Alec and Amy, staff members, were more than kind. They really made an impression of servitude. Because of my visit and their hospitality, I will be here many more times. Thank you Amy and Alec for showing me a great family-friendly environment!

I was worried because the reviews were quite close to only 4 stars, but I'm glad I gave this place a try!

The inside is quite large and they have a lot of tables, sofa area and bar area as well. I didn't take a look at the food menu but enough drinks to order and they also have boardgames at the back!

I got the honey green tea with heart-shaped strawberry jellies. less ice and 75% sugar. Honestly I was still worried if the drink doesn't taste good... but it actually turned out just fine! It was actually perfect for me and the heart-shaped strawberry jellies were chewy and yummy!

While they were no one at the store, they seem to be busy taking food orders over the phone.

Anyways, I will be back to try other drinks. Also for milk teas, you can get your milk tea with almond milk!

Bottom of the barrel delivery. Lowest quality and tastes like it too. 7 star is much better delivery Chinese. I confuse the two because I hardly order Chinese and get 121 cafe and realize how awful it tastes. One good thing is the general tso chicken is all white meat. So I'm not totally hating. And the delivery is quick. Hope they read their reviews and try better.

I liked the Bahn Mi, but unfortunately I almost choked on the staple I found in my mouth when swallowing the broth from the beef pho. Thank goodness I wasn't hurt. Management just told me sorry and go through Doordash to address the issue. I am truly disappointed andI will never order from there again.

Moved out of state 2 years ago and whenever I come back for a visit.. This is one of the places I stop at first. The chicken spring rolls are fantastic!! The Kung pao beef is great also. I love the mango sorbet, it's the hidden gem here for sure.

More of a hang out kind of place. Food was supposed to be spicy and didn't have any flavor. Wonder what the other items without spicy tasted like lol But, staff was very friendly. They just need too add flavor if they're going to offer food

Came here with company and ordered bubble tea and honey walnut
shrimp. We waited awhile for order while chatting business. Environment
is very quiet social place. The energy is low key business casual. Do not come here if you are expecting a quick grab and go or if in a high energetic mood. Very clean and good customer service.

Really expensive drinks but decent WiFi and good place to do group projects since it had large tables and nice seating . I wouldn't buy the food cause that's expensive also. Wasn't anything on menu that really caught my eye .

Went here with my husband and 9 year old for lunch on a Saturday. Food was good and the portion sizes were very accommodating. We had the sesame chicken, fried rice, egg drop soup, and cheese puffs. We did pay the $4 extra to upgrade to the larger portion, shared between the 3 of us it was plenty. We also ordered a strawberry banana with boba and it was delicious. Plus they have a wide range of board games to play, which we did, and that made it an even better experience.

I ordered shrimp fried rice which tasted old and soggy that then caused an allergic reaction all over my moms face the next morning. I called the restaurant to see what they could do although they just said to contact Uber eats. This is very unprofessional and unsanitary. Very disappointed.

The food is excellent!!!!. I'm never disappointed with my drink nor meal it's always warm and loving in one of my favorite places to get a satisfying cream tea. And cynetra is always graceful with her hospitality and positive attitude.

Came here after a gym session for a quick snack. I ordered a Thai tea with tapioca and egg rolls. The egg rolls were awesome as well as the tea. The ONLY thing I was upset about was that there was barely ANY tea! The cup was 75% full of ice and I didn t like that. It s a cool drink and didn t need all of that ice which lessens the amount of tea I received. I ll stick with my regular tea spot!

I've ordered delivery and I've called in an order... They have good service over the phone and in person. The restaurant is nice an spacious. My husband and I say and played foosball while we waited for his avocado smoothie. The eggdrop soup is the best that I've taste in a while so this time I decided to try the Pho soup (chicken breast) and I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I will try toake it to game night. October 25.

This place is awesome!! I don't understand why they only have 4 stars. We order from here all the time and they deliver fast! The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The people are always friendly over the phone. Love all of their teas too!

Great service, very attentive staff. I ordered the Green Thai Tea that wasn't on the usual menu. They told me they could do it, but the wait would just be a few minutes longer than usual, which was totally fine with me. Lots of seating and I like that the staff deliver the drinks to your table. Real fruit is used for the blended drinks!

This little gem is on my rotation for lunch since I work in the area. I would say I eat here at least 2 to 3 times a month. The restaurant is always clean, the portions are a good size, and the price is wallet-friendly for the service and quality you get. The food comes out quick and hot!

As for ambiance, they have a few TVs, a stock of different board and card games, and a sign outside the front door with a funny comment to give you a chuckle as you come in. I am impressed that they update their decorations often based on a holiday for the month. Little details like this show me that the owners care about appearance, which is not a bad thing.

My usual is the avocado chicken, but their orange chicken and Mongolian beef is good too. Their three soup options for lunch are all tasty, but I am basic and just get wonton. The egg drop is yummy though.

Give this place a try. At most you will drop between $10 to $12 bucks and come out with a Fu(ll) Belly...see what I did there?

I don t understand how this is a $ restaurant, this should be at least two dollar signs as it is quite expensive. I arrived at 9:30 before closing and they had their chairs up. I ended up paying 25$ for some food and a bobba tea. They charge extra for everything. The food wasn t great, the bobba milk tea was great.

What a great place. The food is fantastic and the service even better. The attention to detail on your order, preferences and Cynetia is always so very kind and even remembers my favorite number. More often than not, I stop in for a glass of wine and take out but, the atmosphere in-house is so much fun to play board games, trivia, etc. great for all ages.

My boyfriend and I picked up our dinner from here the other night and were more than pleased. The few seconds I was inside, it came off very clean and seemed like a great place to study or get some work done outside of a regular environment. They had a bar, though it looked closed. They are super fast with the to-go stuff. I was in and out within minutes. The dishes are loaded with flavor for the price. We got two separate combo meals that comes with soup, eggrolls, and fortune cookies... AND I got a delightful bubble tea all for under $30. Our other option for dinner that night was a great chinese place down the street that is around $15 per plate and I am glad we chose the cheaper route or else I would have never found this place. Great chinese spot.

Employees there are nice, cool hangout with friends. They have board games and a lot of stuff you could do compared to other restaurants I suppose, love their bubble tea. I dont know if you can play those board games but they have them out so I assume. Hope it doesn't close down, dont see a lot of people to there. Try it out, it's worth a try!

Really enjoyed everything we had here! I tried the Vietnamese Pork Noodle bowl with a Vietnamese egg roll, omg yum! Perfect for a hot day here in Houston. My bf had the Mongolian Beef with spring roll and egg drop soup, the egg drop and spring roll were both excellent, the Mongolian beef was delicious and different from others I've tried with almost a crispiness to the outside of the pork. We also had a passion fruit bubble tea, so much fun! We'll definitely be back!

I love this place! The food, the board games! The only thing that is not much is that once you pay and sit down, nobody comes to know if you are missing something or if everything is fine. Customer service can be better. But for the rest we love it. We come almost 2 times a week.

Public service announcement - boba drinks here are amazing!! The walnut shrimp and salt & pepper calamari are our go-tos; even my picky kids love them. Plenty of healthy options and generous portions - lunch specials are a great value!

The restaurant is clean, bright, and spacious. Huge parking lot in the back, lots of seating inside. Patient and accommodating waitstaff, even when my crazy kids starting horseplaying on their comfy couches.

Definitely come check this place out!

Came today around lunch time. Parking lot is spacious, and the business is also very spacious. The restaurant is very neat and clean. It wasn't busy at all when we came.

The peach green tea had a tad bit bitterness to it, not as sweet of a peach flavor, but more of a tea flavor.

The egg drop soup was good, a little salty today, but overall the flavor is good. The color was very yellow.
The egg roll wasn't that great, the outside was crispy, but the inside has too much of a pepper taste.
I ordered the Kung pow chicken, which contained chicken, pepper, celery, carrot, and peanuts. It's pretty good! A little towards the salty side, but I liked it.
My boyfriend ordered the garlic pork, which was delicious! It contains pork, onion, black fungus, red/green bell peppers, and scallions.

Overall, good restaurant and great pricing. Would definitely come back :)

Tasty boba and very comfortable atmosphere, they have board games and a small foosball table. We walked in here and the guy behind the counter just knew it our first time stepping foot in there haha, he greeted us and explained the menu. Bathrooms are really clean too! Would totally come back!

The chicken spring rolls were fresh and tasted very good. The pork in the Banh Mi was delicious. All the veggies on the sandwich were good as well. I prefer the bread to be a little softer. A great dinner.

FYI if you order pickup you have to check the food ordered before leaving. Second time they could not get my order correctly despite reconfirming multiple times.

Also, disgustingly they will not replace your order correctly unless you bring the food back. Never experienced that before at a restaurant. Hopefully they are not reusing it.

Probably my new favorite place to get bubble tea and Asian cuisine. They also have pretty good vegetarian options! If your feeling something sweet they have delicious macarons here too! They have huge board game selection and plenty of tables /seating so you can definitely find yourself here for hours.

The tapioca was half way cooked. Probably just a one time thing but how would I know? I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and it was just a one time thing. The taro coconut tea tastes grainy and weird (it's not because of the coconut for sure)

The food was great and the delivery was fast. I ordered the general tso's chicken and it was the best I tried in a long time. I also went to eat there a few weeks ago and the attention was really nice. Highly recommended.

My favorite restaurant Cafe 121 use to be here, so I didn't think this new place could fill it's spot. Finally decided to give it a try, and I don't regret it. Great new look, great staff, it's more modern, the food was tasty, and they offer a great variety of drinks.
